  Log:
  This package has a controversial history. It was originally "given" to
  the ImageMagick team, where Bob Friesenhahn made it work with IM.
  
  Since then, Bob and other developers forked GraphicsMagick. libfpx
  remained unchanged until January 2005, when ImageMagick released an
  updated tar-ball with a patch applied. The release was botched (missing
  a subdirectory) and I changed the port to use the old tar-ball on
  GraphicsMagick's site and apply the same patch.
  
  Since then, GraphicsMagick replaced the old 1.2.0.9 tarball with the new
  1.2.0.10, where the patch is applied. On the same date, ImageMagick,
  not to be outdone, "released" 1.2.0.11, WHICH IS NO DIFFERENT from
  GraphicsMagick's version, except for libtool/configure soup.
  
  I'm now switching the port to ImageMagick's mirrors again, simply
  because they seem to have better bandwidth.
  
  I must add, for the record, that ImageMagick team's behavior appears
  rather dubious and unscrupulous in this incident. There was no need to
  "release" their own tarball, especially considering, that some sources
  are marked as "GraphicsMagick" (an embarassing oversight). I also
  found, that those of my postings on ImageMagick's support forum, which
  mentioned GraphicsMagick, were misteriously removed from the board
  shortly after posting...
  
  This update is made neccessary by there being no MASTER_SITES for the
  original 1.2.0.9 tarball left. While at it, however, I also remove the
  jpeg-dependency -- libfpx does not, actually, use it.
